Anether theatre has been burned1' in New Yerk, making the second within about two weeks ; another was fired by an InccnJIury, but wits saved from de struction. Fortunately these fires hap Dttictl wiien thtre waa no audience present. If tlie houses hnd been filled, low of Ilfe would pretty certainly have been the result, since our theatres are went te burn witli great rapidity. They are built without design te save them from conflagration, ami very few are even constructed with the view te a ready escape of the audience in tlme of need. Doing built where land Is very valuable, space Is economized te the utmost, and tlie fronts are utilised for stores. A law is imperatively required which will make It necessary for theatre builders te provide means of egress upon the several shies of the bulldlug. The Philadelphia Acade my of Music Is se situated and arranged that the nudience can be emptied In a very short time, and there can hardly te a possibility of any serious less of llfe from the possible destruction of tl.e structure by fire. Every theatre can le arranged with like regard te tlie safety of Itsauillenres. It only needs a prerer selection of ground and arrangement or the building. In our own city we have a theatre which is net as safe as it should be. It takes entirely tee much time te empty it. The egress Is through a hall way in the front ; although U Is pessil le also te net out at the rear. Uutasth fire alwa8 occurs about the stage the avenues beneath it would net Ih likely te be available. If the whole front of the theatr was capable of being thrown open te the audience, and the several aisles were made te open immediately upon It the hall could probably lw emptied with sufllcicient speed. Hut new the audience is converged te one passage, and In case of panic a crush would be inevitable. What is absolutely necessaiy Is that the store rooms in front should lie removed and an open hall be provided in front of the audience room Inte which doorways from the aisles may open. The need or this has been conspicuous for a long time, but in the absence of accident the dan ger lurking in the present arrangement has heeu submitted te. It should Iw se no longer. The Councils. Popular nppieclatlen of the iLtelli gence and capacity of the average ceun cilman will net be enhanced by a con sideration or tlie proceedings of city councils at the special meeting last evening. Theiltc'ric licht was accepted with, eat any satisfactory demerstratirn that the tern.s i f the ceuti.iut under which It hns bei n eree'ed were fullitlcd. It is undeniable that It was net up and in working order at the time the contract called fei, nor for months afterward; there Is a ralr presumption that its man agers did i.i t det-Ire ouch a test te be made of Us illuminating power as It would Lav been subj.c'ed te with the foliage . i hi. tnc. Tl.ere has been 1 nn rUmcn - ration l,iiteei that the 2,000 wiMl'e pe .or per U up of the contract lias been furnished ; it is insert ed that Iho Amuiix lamps run far Mew this ; t is only certain that they are very uncertain. Moreover, if the light is te be continued and the apparatus te be epenreil by the city it will Involve an expenditure that will render an inctease of the muuicipil tat rate abseli'el niassiry next jear. If anything w-re needed te show hew in considerate!) councils acted m this matter it is furnished in the aiguuients madefcr the acceptance of the electric lljht. In the mutter of tl.e mayor's veto and the desperate attempt, led by Mr. R. A Evans, te get $1 .500 mere for his street committee out of the contingent fund, there is d uiger that the-e who voted with Mr. Evana te override the veto will lese all popular respect and confidence in their fitness te control public affaiia. The major's message pointed out net only that It w.i3 absolutely Impossible tocemply with the resolution and take $1,600 out of a fund that has only $1,330.01 in it, but that this street com mittee has alieady within the first six months of the ll&ciil )f-ar spent its entire appropriation of $11500 mid taken $3,000 from the contingent fund, al though it has net made asinglosquare of macadamizing. Resides, there are $3, 600.01 of hills yet te be met from this fund, which is mere than double the amount remaining in it. Mr. rjvuns characterized as " clap trap" the mayor's statement that the $000 pay of the assessors should bu taken out of thlsyear'sappropiiatiens. Nevertheless it 13 true. These bllla are for services rendered thl3 year and are payable out of this) ear's appropriations; thu propo prepo sition te carry them ever te next year is simply a repetition of tlieilnauclal bluu- derlng which at the time Mayer Mae Gonlgle came Inte ofilce had heape 1 up $80,000 of this kind of deficiencies which had te bu met by a permanent lean. Mr. Evaus should lutve learned from that experience the felly of thla system of paying one) ear's expenses out of next year'a appropriations ; municipal mat ters cannot properly be managed upon principles se utterly at varlauce with these which make prlvaty business suc cessful. Simen Cameren says that protective tariffs have been the rule during his participation in publle affulrs, and he thinks that us the country has prospered under them their beneficence has been demonstrated, ami their continuance is demanded, Undoubtedly protection has been our policy In the past,nnd under It the country lias prospered. It is far richer and mere independent than if it had depended en England for its manu factures. Rut, new thut its industries are en a geed footing, they cau get along wiiuiera protection, and some will be able te de with none. The child does net always need te be fed ; for the time comes, when it 1ms been well nourished, that it has grown lustly and Btrengnnd self-dependent. , Fen Iho purpese of lltuslratfnfc sonic of Kb tntlff nrguments, tlie American deduces from published tables of employ empley inents tlie conclusion Hint miumfnoturea ami cmnmcice have net kept pafce in tills count ry with agriculture. T5 rc.ich this tlie American takes tlie number of persona ctnple) ed In these several brnchrs of Industry In 1850, compares that m lib their number In 1SS0, anil trliimphnn'ly asks : ,l Wliy have flve million" and a quarter of farmers been added te our population since ISeO, and only four mil. ions drawn te nil etner Industrial pur nulls i"" The answer Is easy Simply because from the beginning there huve been ami it Is te be hoped that tbere nlwajs will lie a larger absolute- num ber of persons engaged in farming than In all ether Industrial pursuits. If the .rlmtrtVaii will tr te make a fair ami Intelligent comparison, however, by per centiigt It will discover by Its en figures that while the increase of farmers in thirty years has been 117 per cent., the Increase of person eitgugd in all ether Industrial pursuits hns been about 150 per cent Se that the American's argu ment proves Just what it was cited te disprove which Is an unfortunate wny of much of that journal's leasening. One of the anomalies of the s sieui i f representation In the Republican ration al convention is the admission te seats and e'es of delegates from the teni'erles, which are net entitled te electors In the electoral college and the people of which cannot In any wise par ticipate in the cheice of a president. Hut the grant of representation te the terri tories Is one of the devices of a central Ued sys'em by which these in possession of place retain their power. Theal ministration illncMy controls the feder al pa' ronage le the territories, and Its appointees haw entire command of the political machinery there, heute its easy manipulation of the delegates sent thence. The ui'Xt Republican conven tion will be composed of S23 delegates of whom the Muthem states will fu.r.wh 5ij nnu tlie territories H, lints n s g 832 only S3 less than the number re quired te nominate. Unless Mr. Arthur is less of the politician than he lias hith. erte been deemed, he will make the bst of this opportunity. SiMCLTAKnei'SLT with the news that Senater Chaff e declare for Legan as a compromise Republican candidate be tween Maine and Grant, comes the an nouncement that Governer Hamilton, of Illinois, thinks Legan the coming man. His distinguished civil and military ser vices are cited in proof of his fitness, and as the convention is te be held in h.s city, that circumstance is expected te promote his chances. Legan Is a man of ambition nud energy ; he has behind him a wife of tact and s icial accomplishments te whom he ewes a gre.it deal of his pe lltical success thus far ; he has mere brass than brains, and it would be a singular turn, indeed, that would make him a nominee for the presidency. But as things are new drifting in his party they ma take that tuiu.
